Thank you everyone for voting, I hope I won't disappoint you with this one shot. It just came to my mind spontaneously, the plot I mean, and I just had to write it down. But then I thought about the pairing and... I had a few options, so I made a poll. Then you voted, and I knew the results will be like this... Yet, I am a bit sad that my favorite OTP didn't win, but that doesn't mean I don't have anything up my sleeve. Now, here I present to you this one shot.
☠ ☠ ☠ ☠ ☠
45a. Checkmate
She looked around and shivered, in fear to faint on this very floor her family members were lying on, disembodied. Yes, she was scared, in her head she was already screaming and crying out loud, but now she could not make any sounds or shed any tears, as she was in aftershock condition. She was standing of the tiny thought that processed in her mind, that her eyes were seeing. Falling on this floor would mean her lying in the pools of blood of her own family members.. The thin line of consciousness became invisible and her eyes saw nothing but blackness, her body collapsing from her shocked state.
(two months later)
"It will be two thousand yen."
She gritted her teeth, payed the money and left the store. Buying food was tiring, paying lots of money was bothersome, and having to sleep at some shelter was infuriating. She passed a few streets, that seen better days and went through the empty tunnel, which someday was providing people with clean spring water. Now it was a path for her to walk everyday and mingle among homeless, suicidal and drunk people. To think she was from a wealthy and rich family some time ago... Her headache gone stronger, she gritted her teeth again and quickened her pace. After ten minutes the tunnel ended and she set her foot on the dirty grass, full of rubbish and feces. Leaving behind the messy area, she entered thicket. She did not bother to wince or whine from pain, as she was already used to it, she was beaten every day after all, so what did it matter anyway, if some bushes or thorns scarred her body. She already had a few bones broken, her one eye could not see, and she could hear only with one ear. So what did it matter, really?
But it did matter. She was waiting for a perfect time to find a certain person. That person was at fault things, like that massacre of her family, happened to other families as well. Her mind had only tiny flashes of that time, when she came happy from school, wanting to tell her family she got an A+ from her test. But what she found, was bloody trails in the garden, widely open doors, and inside... She felt a headache... She did not remember further, but she woke up from scary dreams every night. She is thankful for that person who saved her. That person is her informant now, and she is going to meet her. She smiled vaguely and noticed her, doing push ups with such a force she never even seen men pushing up.
"Hey, Bakamina, I brought you food."
"You hate supermarkets or money, yet you by me food. Where did you get the money anyway?" asked the short woman, not stopping in her actions, the bow on her head doing push ups together with her.
"I know we need to eat. How... is she doing?"
The woman stopped and looked at her with sad eyes.
"I wish I knew. Yet Yuko is saying she's getting better. But.. I myself see no signs of her getting any better."
"Your girlfriend is a doctor, she knows her stuff.. Hey, I'm taking a bath and we can go then. You should do the same. I don't think your girlfriend would like to see you like this."
"Well, I am in hiding. How am I supposed to look in this place? All princess like in a pink dress and high heels? Between this trash and mud?"
"You know, your bow does the same as your mentioned outfit, but oh well. I'm going."
"And who's going to cook?"
"Not now, baka. We're bringing it to our girlfriends, I'm sure they will know what to do."
"Okay."
(Acchan's POV)
I always was wondering how Bakamina was able to construct two bathrooms and other important things (kitchen, bedrooms, and lots of many more..) in our hideout, a pull down shed, that had a secret entry to the underground basement. That basement had all and everything the riches have, including the secret path to the main city. That path was wide enough for us to travel with bicycles, and it had only one destination - Yuko's garage. After taking our baths and dressing up in beautiful clothes and putting on make up, we took food and ventured with bicycles back home. Yes, I was now living with them: Takahashi Minami aka Takamina, or as I call her, Bakamina (or as her girlfriend Yuko calls her, Takamidget); Oshima Yuko aka Yuuchan, squirrel, midget, pervert, old man, and other various names (she's Minami's girlfriend); Oshima Yui aka Yuihan, Yuko's sister, my girlfriend. It was Minami who saved me that time from falling on the bloody floor. I don't remember it, but I dream about it a lot, from the time I notice the scene to the time I have a blackout. Minami said I really fainted that time, and she barely caught me, or I would have ended up crashed on the bloody floor.
The part about me having broken bones is true. I often get into fights when undercover. I am actually a police officer, an investigator who cannot investigate the case because I am a victim. Or, to be more precise, I am the last remaining member of those victims... And Yui is not my girlfriend, we just pretend, because she has too many followers, and she doesn't like them. Me being her girlfriend makes things simpler, as after finding out she's dating a police officer they run away and leave her be. Or if they don't believe her, they have an awesome amount of happiness to meet me. Yeah, those happy meeting made me so sulking. And then there is another person. Minegishi Minami. Bakamina's childhood friend, who's family also went to extinction. Except her. But she's in a coma, and Yuko's taking care of her. There is slight tiny hope she might wake up...but only as tiny as a piece of sewing thread. Or even as tiny as spiderweb thread...
The person I'm looking for is Matsui Rena, a member of Matsui Family Clan, better known as the most feared and the most secretive yakuza family. We already have her sister, Matsui Jurina, in jail. It's only a matter of time, when I capture Matsui Mayu (yeah, she has a weird name, if you ask me. I would name a girl Mayu if she had a different last name, like Watanabe or something like that), and then Matsui Rena will come to me herself. I have sources, that say seeing her near that house, all bloody, running away. At first I thought a girl younger than me is not possible of doing that kind of massacre alone, but after finding out the doings of that kid, Jurina, I started to believe in inhuman strength and stamina. I had enough. I will punish her. She will suffer. I'll bring her down by any means. Just you wait, Matsui Rena. I will have you in my jail very soon. I am Maeda Atsuko, after all, and people don't call me the Ace of police forces for nothing.
(to be continued)
Yeah, it's divided into parts, to keep suspense, and because I have a fever... I couldn't write more at the moment, sorry if the plot and story sound or look crappy.... Leave comments, if you want. I'll take my leave, though I'll come from the shadows from time to time. Maybe I'll post other updates, if I find strength in myself after some tea time and rest.
Ja ne.
